Knoxville Motorcycle Accident Attorney
When you leave your home, you risk being the victim in a motor vehicle accident. Knoxville traffic can be extremely dangerous for everyone, but it can be especially dangerous and deadly for motorcyclists. Vehicle collisions can be especially dangerous for motorcyclists because of the lack of safety features and other devices that most cars have to protect occupants. Therefore, the rider takes the full impact in a collision. Also, motorcycles are much smaller and lighter than the vehicles they collide with in a crash. All of this combined together results in catastrophic and severe injuries for riders in motorcycle accidents.
If you or a family member has been injured in a Knoxville or eastern Tennessee motorcycle accident, it is imperative that you contact a personal injury attorney who has extensive experience handling Tennessee motorcycle accident cases.

Why Do Motorcyclists Love Eastern Tennessee?
Eastern Tennessee has some of the most beautiful places to ride in the southeast. According to Motorcycle Roads, Tennessee has “lush forests, abundant bodies of water, and breathtaking mountains” that results in amazing motorcycle rides. In addition to the amazing scenery, Tennessee also has “lively cities and towns with rich histories and colorful amenities that draw visitors year round.”
Motorcyclists Face High Risk For Catastrophic Injuries In Crashes
As a motorcycle rider, you have the same right to use our Tennessee roads and highways as other drivers. Unfortunately, many drivers fail to pay enough attention to the task of driving to notice motorcyclists who are sharing the road with them. They fail to yield the right of way to motorcycles, cut off motorcycles, and rear-end motorcycles at traffic signals and stop signs. Careless, negligent, and distracted driving are the most common reasons why other drivers collide with motorcycles.
Due to the difference between a motorcycle and the other vehicle involved in the collision, motorcycle riders typically sustain severe, traumatic injuries in crashes. These injuries result in very high damages including medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and other out-of-pocket expenses. Because the injuries are severe, physical and emotional damages are also high in motorcycle accidents.
Common injuries our Knoxville personal injury attorneys see in motorcycle crashes include:
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other severe head injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Spinal cord and back injuries
- Neck injuries
- Lacerations, scrapes, cuts, and bruises
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Extreme trauma to the exposed areas of the body and to the extremities
- Extreme trauma to the facial bones, teeth, and eyes
- Internal bleeding and injuries to internal organs
- Paralysis
- Death
Recovering from a motorcycle accident can takes months, and you may never fully recover from your injuries. The Knoxville motorcycle accident lawyers at Hodges, Doughty & Carson, PLLC can help you recover compensation for your losses and damages including compensation for your physical pain and emotional suffering and even compensation for the wrongful death of a loved one.

Why Do I Need A Knoxville Motorcycle Accident Lawyer?
There are numerous situations that can lead to a motorcycle crash. Sometimes fault may be difficult to determine and difficult to prove. An experienced motorcycle accident lawyer conducts a thorough accident investigation to identify and closely examine evidence that shows why the collision occurred and to determine whether there is proof that the other party was at fault. This is essential if you want to receive compensation for your injuries. Our attorneys understand the importance of proving fault and the unique challenges posed by motorcycle wrecks.
The insurance company for the at-fault party may attempt to settle your accident claim as quickly as possible for the lowest amount possible. Our attorneys understand the true value of your injury claim and we stand up to insurance companies seeking to pay you less than your claim is worth. Our goal is to allow you to focus all of your attention and resources on your recovery while we take the burden of dealing with insurance companies and the court system off of your shoulders.
